This past weekend...
Friday was date night. We went to the Fresh Market on Thursday night and got some lovely steaks so that we could marinate them overnight. They were amazing. Paired with some roasted asparagus, roasted potatoes and some lemon orzo we grabbed at the Fresh Market...dinner couldn't have been better.
We started eating a little later than planned, so instead of going to the movies that night, we decided to postpone our date until Sunday (he had to work on Saturday). We spent the rest of Friday evening watching some tv and just chilling.
Then, on Saturday, I couldn't stop coughing. I constantly felt like I had a dry throat, and no amount of water was helping the situation. Cough drops were temporarily pausing the coughs, but they weren't solving the dry throat issue.
Sunday morning, I was definitely struggling. Instead of getting up at 8:30am and running out to the gym as we had planned, he let me sleep a bit longer. We managed to get to the gym around 12pm, and although I didn't do much, he was able to at least get his workout in for the day. We then came home to change and grab lunch, which proved to be a great idea because not 5 minutes after we got home the sky opened up and the torrential downpour began. It was a full on storm, thunder and lightning and all that jazz. We sat around and watched a little tv while we waited for it to let up, and then we headed back out.
First was a stop at the mall, where we went to the jewelry store and I got the necklace I've been wanting for months. I suppose you could say that it was a bit of an earlier birthday present. Either way, I'm happy. :)
Then... off to the movies. We saw "Letters to Juliet" since I got to pick the movie. It was either that or "Robin Hood" (his pick), but I was really in the mood to see this one instead. I really liked it. It was a bit predictable, but I knew that just based off of the trailers. The bits of comedy throughout the movie were nice, and overall a cute story line. (Plus, thanks to cough drops and a bottle of water, I really didn't cough too much thru the movie.)
After that we came home, grabbed some leftovers and spent the evening sitting on the couch watching shows that we had recorded but never had the time to catch up on.
Short of my sudden onset of sickness, it was a really good weekend.
